Integrative Approach

Introduction
Although some counselors define one clear theoretical approach for the work they do with clients, most professionals draw from two or more theories of psychotherapy to provide effective counseling for the wide range of clients they see. Integrative psychotherapy requires counselors to have mastered the key elements within each approach they use, having a thorough understanding of how these theories view human growth and development, the process of change, the role of the counselor, and the use of specific techniques or interventions.
As you continue to develop your personal theory of counseling, you will consider which theories most reflect your personal values style as a counselor and how you can best integrate these approaches in the work you do with clients.

1. Apply an integrative approach to a client scenario.
